1.  The Flip Phone is Back!
KYOCERA Launches Rugged, Reliable, FirstNet Ready DuraXE Epic with AT&T

Compact, affordable, ultra-rugged flip phone delivers productivity essentials for public safety, construction, hospitality, and more

Kyocera International Inc., the North American leader in rugged mobile solutions, launched the military-grade and FirstNet Ready™ DuraXE Epic on the AT&T 4G LTE network today. A compact flip phone built for reliability in harsh conditions, Kyocera’s new ultra-rugged device is certified military standard 810H to withstand drops (up to 5 feet onto concrete) and water immersion (IP68 up to 6 ft for 30 min) making it ideal for the public safety, construction and hospitality industries, as well as seniors and anyone looking for a durable, easy-to-use device. It’s also certified Non-incendive Class I Div 2 for protection in hazardous environments, and can be disinfected using alcohol (70% solution) or cleaning wipes. An affordable option, especially for enterprise, DuraXE Epic is available for $269.99 MSRP or for well qualified customers for $9.00/mo on a 30 month installment plan at 0% APR. 

DuraXE Epic is FirstNet Ready™ and supports access to the dedicated FirstNet network core, FirstNet First Priority®, which includes always-on priority and preemption for first responders and the Band 14 spectrum. Offering highly reliable communication, including AT&T Enhanced Push to Talk** (EPTT), DuraXE Epic has 100+dB dual front-facing loudspeakers with dual-mic noise cancellation for audio clarity; cellular calling with HD Voice; Wireless Priority Service with eMPS and real-time text (RTT) support. DuraXE Epic also makes an ideal replacement for Remote Speaker Mics (RSMs), using the programmable external buttons to easily communicate — PTT button for EPTT, External Speaker, and Call List keys on top of device can be programmed to channel up and down, and SOS button to call for help (requires Advanced EPTT) — all without opening the device or removing it from its holster. At 4.36 inches (when closed) and weighing only 6.8 ounces, the device features a fast 1.2GHz, 64-bit Quad-core processor in an ergonomic design with a large, tactile, glove-friendly keypad and buttons, adjustable font size and a clear display for improved readability. An easy access, customizable menu can be set to frequently-used apps; and multiple programmable keys, including SOS*, PTT*, speaker, call list, and four-way navigation key, make the device easy to personalize.

3. .  The Casusgrill $15 disposable grill
https://www.casusgrill.com/

Casusgrill the lightweight compostable grill made from bamboo and lava stone
Words such as “convenient,” “disposable,” and “single-use” aren’t usually associated with environmental stewardship. That’s changed with the introduction of a clever compostable contraption called CasusGrill.
Direct from Denmark, where it has won awards for design and simplicity, CasusGrill provides a simple, economical solution for anyone who wants to experience healthy cooking outdoors without the hassles of conventional grills.

Made from cardboard, bamboo, and lava stone, CasusGrill lights with a match and heats to 600°F within minutes – a perfect temperature for cooking meats, fish, and vegetables. It stays hot for an hour or more and is sized to cook enough food for four hungry adults.

Whether it is used to cook steak, burgers, seafood, poultry, or grilled vegetables, the grill imparts a flavor that will make a believer out of anyone. All it takes is one try and most people are amazed at how simple, safe, and easy it is. The compact, 2-pound package makes grilling simple anywhere, from scenic mountain overlooks to golf courses, city parks, or the backyard.
 
4.   Ekster Wallets

5. Lamkin Golf Grips - New SONAR Line
https://www.lamkingrips.com/

Lamkin SONAR line – SONAR Wrap and SONAR Tour.  

SONAR Tour is a slightly firmer version of the SONAR line, designed specifically to resist torsion in higher swing speeds. It still retains the tacky feel of SONAR, but does sacrifice a little for that extra control. The SONAR Wrap is a super tacky, high traction grip that has all the benefits of SONAR but in a Wrap style. The Tour is currently only available in standard size while the Wrap is in both standard + and Mid S
 

6. Orange Mud & The Skeeter Beater

The Orange Mud Transition & Seat Wrap is the answer to parking lot and trail head gear changes as well as keeping that clean seat of yours...well, clean! We designed the wrap with the simple goal of not having your towel fall off while changing from regular clothes to run/bike/surf/etc gear. It stays around your waist securely via a built in belt clip. The second feature of the towel is the zip on hoodie, which you slip over your seat back in your car so when you sit down, the wrap does not slide off your seat.

Features of Orange Mud Transition & Seat Wrap Towel:
Patent Pending
30" x 60"
Impact resistant polymer clip
Laser cut super tough belt
1 year warranty
Wash cold before first use, dry cool

Launched on Kickstarter, The Edge Desk is the first desk-chair and easel all in one. Forget hours of assembly and hundreds of parts to manage, The Edge comes fully assembled right out of the box.
